Board certifies retail store bargaining unit on a municipal-wide basis following general industry practice.
The applicant union applied for certification of a bargaining unit of retail store employees.
The parties disputed whether the bargaining unit description should be municipal-wide or restricted to a specific street location.
The Board followed its general practice in the retail industry, determining that where there is only a single retail store at the time of the application, certification should be on a municipal-wide basis.
The Board certified the applicant as the bargaining agent for all employees at the respondent's retail store(s) in Peterborough.
